Bruce Lee his books he wrote


Bruce Lee his books he wrote 

Gung Fu by Bruce Lee

In his life wrote gung fu
Based on wing chun taught by yipman
1963

Chinese Gung Fu 2nd print 1987


After a fight in 1965 with Wong JackMan, Bruce Lee realized as good as wing chun kung fu was, Wong was retreating, So Bruce needed to do something else to subdue Wong. He had to put him down on the floor and make Wong give up. Bruce thought the fight was too long. That he had to add something more. It was after that fight Bruce put other arts of throwing and grappling with his wing chun to form Jeet Kune Do. A new strategy of attack while being attacked striking first. Using any martial art best for the situation in combat.

Copywrite 1975
After his death Linda put together his notes drawings his philosophies.
What is Jeet Kune Do? Translated Way of the intercepting Fist. Meaning to counter an attack with an attack of your own. A strike while the opponent is engaging to strike.
Can also be a simultanious block and strike.
More of speed in Bruce hitting before he gets close
Bruce Lee his new Jeet Kune Do is the style of no style.
To not be locked into a standard way but to change your style switch from wing chun to karate or boxing, and go back switch to wing chun as you adapt to the combat situation.
To adapt to opponents fight style, and use every any part of the body. To not think of  what to do but use your tools as the situation unfolds. To use what is useful in each martial art learned.
Using a martial art thats best for each range of combat your in, like far is kicking range, medium is boxing range, close wing chun trapping range. Grappling range judo or catch wrestling locking, floor fight jujitsu wrestling. 
After his death his methods notes together with his pictures



Bruce Lee never left wing chun. He added other martial arts to wing chun in his Jeet Kune Do.
Wing Chun is the base martial art in Bruce lee his personal Jeet kune do. Ive learned that he didnt teach wing chun in Jeet Kune Do because it was part of his JKD and set him apart from others and gave him the advantage. If you want Bruce lee personal JKD you should be taught first Wing Chun Kung Fu.
What Wing Chun Bruce lee learned he mastered every move taught to him in Wing Chun Kung Fu with repetition of thousand times.
What is Wing Chun?
Legend is It is all the best most effecient moves of the 5 kung fu and put it together learned in a third the time all in one straight combat kung fu.
YipMan taught Bruce Lee as well as his wing chun brothers wong Shun Leung and william cheung. Plus William Cheung and Wong shun leung trained Bruce also. Without Wing Chun there would be no JKD. Bruce Lee brought popularity of wing chun kung fu to the world.
Wing Chun first in JKD, after then other martial arts. Thats Bruce Lees personal journey with martial arts. His personal Jeet Kune Do. The beautiful thing is each person is different in thier art so each person has thier own journey in it. An art of expression of ones self. So theres no standard of knowing JKD.
For each art works better in different situations of combat.
Wing chun works great close. Karate works great far for kicks. Judo or taichi works great in grappling, jujitsu work best on the floor
Jeet Kune Do which varies in each artist to their body ability and degree of martial arts they learned.
T
To instill tolerance to not take a life, take a limb. Not take a limb. They cant hit you if you hurt thier arm or cant walk to you if you hurt thier leg. Muscle destruction is the least way to injure without damage to head and neck or bone injury.
